Me 20 year old "top of duh line" for duh day, computer has told me, he will be retiring to the TV room to become a multimedia machine and complain about how bad television has become.
So it's time to build a new one. I have all the parts save for one.
I want to use a soundblaster audigy like card (the one in the old geezer is 32 bit pci), I need one that will fit a modern slot.
Has anyone any experience with a good SB audigy like card? Definetly want to stay with soundblaster.
I would like the collective's input. No banana bread recipes please.
Kate The Great and Terrible.

Hahaha :D I was looking recently for replacement to the Popcorn Hour A100 - I found there is Popcorn Hour 500. I was surprised by the price, so I keep the A100 for a while. If you ask me that's the best - I mean you can find C-200 or something similar used (just saw one for 135 US$ on ebay). I'm just saying it because it is not a banana recipe :D and has a decent audio. It would save also much power and has a remote control.
And you are right - TV has become unbearable, or I am getting old or both :D

Pretty much the same. That and old time tv channels like "Classic TV" etc. Nik, we are either old and trend setters. Kate

Creative still produces sound blasters:

Though nowadays the internal sound cards have mostly disappeared. Onboard audio on modern motherboards is of very high quality, and people needing professional-level audio quality tend to go for external sound cards (for reasons I never managed to figure out).

Hi Janek
This was actually the card I was looking at. The reason I don't want to use the onboard audio is they have limitations when it come to recording from certain sources. Some mic, phonographs, cassette tapes etc. I can use audio tools available through linux but they don't work as well with onboard audio.
It's the middle group between pro gear and oem. The best of both worlds.
Thanks for your input.
Kate
